a bit late to start talking about it now since Vettel has it in the bag. I really liked the India track it was a really really really sweet track.

The track looked good, but it was so dirty.

http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/new ... sign-Kimi-

He added: "We all know Kimi is quick, and people underestimate how intelligent he can be.

"I hope he is hungry. I'm sure he hasn't lost the capability to thrill us in Formula One, so I think it would be fantastic for Formula One (if he returned).

"I wouldn't ordinarily presume to advise Sir Frank on who he should sign, but I think it would be exciting if he did."


oh God please! I will wake up in the middle of the night to watch the races if this happens.

He can take Michael's spot.
Kimi in + Michael out = F1 wins

With Brazil left to race, I think it will be difficult for Webber to get 2nd. He would have to win, and hope Button and Alonso don't score any points.

Can't see Webber winning. A couple of years ago he wouldve had a great season. Been a bit of a let down to be honest..

Yep Vettel is streets ahead I wouldn't have thought the difference between him and the rest is much though.

I'd put Webber behind Alonso and Button and equal with Lewis. Lewis is faster but less consistent.
